Akko's Story
"I was referred to Top Choice Dog Training LLC and it has been a truly wonderful experience. I was a well seasoned trainer myself training 2 rottweilers, the first to Schutzhund II, and the second to Schutzhund III back in the 80s through the 90s. My latest rottweiler is a very sweet boy but, very rambunctious and full of more energy than I could handle at 74 years old with a bad hip. So I contacted, Erika and her protocol was to meet me and my dog to evaluate and assess our training needs. She was very kind and understanding as I tried to keep him under control, as he jumped up to shower her with love and kisses. She proposed a very reasonably priced 5, one hour individual training sessions. I can't believe the difference in my dog. He used to drag me around playfully lunging and jumping up to people trying to shower them with his love. Now on our 3rd and 4th session we walked thru Lowes with me pushing a cart and him walking calmly by my side. No pulling, no lunging, totally focused on me.
I could not believe it! The bottom line is if you seek very affordable individual dog training where your specific needs are met with great results, you should schedule an evaluation and training assessment meeting with Erika. Like me, you will be amazed at the results." -Tony

Erika's approach is both professional and personable. She is always punctual, prepared, and ready to tackle any challenge with a calm and confident demeanor. Her ability to break down complex behaviors into manageable steps made the training sessions productive and easy to follow. My dog responded incredibly well to her guidance, and I noticed significant improvements in behavior in a remarkably short time.
One of the standout aspects of working with Erika is her dedication to ongoing support. She provides detailed notes after each session and is always available to answer questions or offer advice between appointments. This level of commitment is truly exceptional and sets her apart from other trainers.
Beyond the technical skills and knowledge, Erika genuinely cares about the well-being of the dogs she works with. Her passion for her work is evident, and it creates a positive and encouraging environment that fosters success. My dog, who was once anxious and stubborn, is now confident, well-behaved, and happier than ever.
